Job Summary/Description:

WTOC is looking for an energetic morning anchor and MMJ to helm our weekend morning newscasts (Saturday/Sunday) and report three days a week. This is a role designed for someone ready for more air time (newscasts are two hours long) and committed to being a dedicated storyteller in our community.

Duties/Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

- Anchor weekend morning newscasts with a focus on local impact, utility, and community connection, delivering content that earns trust with audiences across all age groups.
- Produce and present streaming desk updates between and outside of traditional newscasts, providing live, real-time coverage of breaking news, severe weather, and developing stories for audiences watching on connected TV platforms (Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Smart TV apps, etc.).
- Report and shoot as a Multi-Media Journalist (MMJ), producing broadcast-quality packages while simultaneously capturing vertical video assets for social and streaming platforms.
- Anchor or contribute to streaming-only content, including live breaking news coverage, "what we know so far" explainers, and VOD segments designed for on-demand viewing outside traditional newscast windows.
- Work alongside the weekend morning producer to build engaging and dynamic newscasts that bring viewers the news when it's happening, where it's happening.
- Be responsible for making content and editorial decisions for the morning newscast shift and communicating with the manager on-call and other weekend staff.

Qualifications/Requirements:

- An understanding that this role is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday mornings and excessive time off on weekends means you might not be a good fit. This doesn't mean you can't have a Saturday or Sunday off; it means we want someone who understands this is a commitment.
- A digital-first mindset: You don't just "post to social"—you understand how to craft stories specifically for streaming and digital outlets.
- On-camera charisma: You have a natural, engaging presence whether you're behind the desk or reporting live from the field.
- Smart news judgment: You know a great story when you see one and have the skills to enterprise it from start to finish.
- Strong writing chops: You write for the ear and the eye, crafting scripts that are punchy, accurate, and human.
- Technical versatility: You’re comfortable with the tools of the trade (including an eye for video, editing, tracking, and operating with the latest technology to go live and quickly send video).
- Empathy and curiosity: You care about people and the stories that shape their lives.
- Resilience: You thrive under deadline pressure and can handle the unpredictability of a live news environment with a smile.
- Experience: 2+ years of experience in a newsroom is preferred, but your passion and potential matter most.
